On topic ends, another starts :)

I'm playing around with http://www.phpbb.org for my (future) site.

No easy stuff, though!

Now, how can I implement a simple redirection to some other script. In that forum software they make use of meta redirection, but I believe there must be somethings like
Response.Redirect(url)



Cheers,
Frank

Make sure that you have not sent any output to the browser before
calling a heder function.

...but the Soon is eclipsed by the Moon

simple as that, although I saw it, I didn't realise that is seems to be a builtin function.

Thanks again!

What do you do if you want to automatically redirect to another page after an if statement. Do yu use meterefresh or is there some php code to deal with this?


What ever makes life easy

Well, if you want to do it via Javascript or with an HTML meta refresh tag, you should only output that code if your conditions are met within PHP.

example:

<?php

if( some condition )
{
   echo "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"5\" />\n";
}
// else don't generate refresh code.

...
?>


Simple as that.


Take care,
